Heavy Machinery Fabrication

Contract Manufacturing for the World's Heaviest Equipment

The backbone of global infrastructure, mining, and manufacturing relies on colossal, heavy-duty machinery. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) who design these massive machines often hit production bottlenecks because they lack the physical floor space or the ultra-large gantry CNC machines required to fabricate massive frames and chassis.

This is where Openex excels. Operating 180 acres of factory space equipped with 250-ton overhead cranes, we are a premier tier-1 contract manufacturer for the heavy machinery sector. We take your massive OEM blueprints and turn them into finished, stress-relieved, precision-machined assemblies ready for final motor and rail integration.

Heavy Machinery Components We Build

Massive Machine Beds and Base Frames

Machine Beds & Base Frames

We fabricate incredibly rigid, heavy-wall structural bases for OEM CNC machines, industrial compressors, and generators. Utilizing large planar mills, we guarantee the strict mounting pad flatness tolerances required for linear rails and gearboxes.

press machine frames machining

Industrial Press Machine Frames

Industrial forging and stamping presses endure immense impact loads. We source and process heavy steel plate (often over 200mm thick) to weld, stress-relieve, and machine massive crown, bed, and upright components for mechanical press OEMs.

Heavy Mining Equipment Fabrication

Heavy Earthmoving & Crane Equipment

Fabrication of heavily reinforced excavator arms, massive dump bodies, crusher chassis, and tower crane masts. We strictly utilize specialized, wear-resistant high-strength steels (like Hardox 450) and perform complete AWS D1.1 structural welding.

large gearbox fabrication

Massive Gearbox Housings

Combining massive welded fabrications with heavy multi-axis CNC horizontal boring mills to manufacture custom gearbox split housings for mining mills, naval drives, and heavy automation sectors.

The Openex Heavy Machinery Advantage

  • Scale & Capacity: Very few contract manufacturers can maneuver single assemblies weighing over 150 tons. With massive crane limits and extra-large painting and blasting booths, size is never a restriction here.
  • Thermal Stress Relief (PWHT): For massive machine beds and frames, relieving weld stress before final machining is critical to prevent twisting. We operate industrial-sized post-weld heat treatment furnaces in-house.
  • Unbroken Supply Chain: As a direct steel processing center, we stock, plasma cut, press brake, weld, machine, paint, and assemble the entire piece of heavy machinery under one roof, reducing lead times exponentially.
